horses in winter

And yet another horse day.  We have a lot of them in the winter.  More horses are in stalls now, which means more stalls to clean.  The hoses freeze, so we have to thaw them before we can fill the buckets and tubs.  The water in the tubs freezes, so we have to break the ice.  We're just hoping that we don't have all the snow we had last year.  Slogging around in snow higher than your knees makes everything harder as well as take a whole lot longer.

Of course there is an up-side to winter.  Everything looks beautiful when the snow is fresh.   The horses and the dogs love to play in it.  (Some of the horses even like to make horse angels in the snow!)  No, I wouldn't say that I hate winter, but I sure do like spring!
